Better than a CD?

Yes! An iPod for Audiophiles.
Get bit-perfect CD quality playback on your own DAC or Processor with all the
advantages of the world’s most successful audio product, finally!

"The MSB iLink’s real appeal is what it was created for: getting the digital
bitstream out of an iPod and into your own DAC. And that it does not merely
well, but fabulously. I found that, regardless of source material, at worst the
iLink matched the sound quality of my CD transport; usually, it bettered that
quality."

iPod
Convenience
with CD Quality.

The iPod is a wonderful product
hindered by one basic flaw - analog outputs. The
digital format of its audio files are converted within the iPod, which negates
any attempt to create true-to-CD audio. This means that no matter how much money
an audiophile spends on iPod docking stations that boast great sound, the quality
will not come close to a CD played on a high-end system.

MSB Technology’s new iLink, is the world’s only iPod docking station that offers
a true digital audio output. This is done by modifing the iPod to allow digital
audio to be sent to the iLink and output via toslink optical, coaxial or balanced
AES/EBU format. With this output, audiophiles can transform their iPods into a
high-end source and achieve sound reproduction on a par with a good CD transport.
The iLink comes with an RF transmitter that allows the iPod to be moved around
the listening room while still maintaining the best audio quality available.
The iLink also charges the iPod.

MSB can upgrade iPods sent to them, or new units are available with the upgrade
installed already.

Worried about high-resolution music? The 176.4 kHz upsampling upgrade is now available for the iLink. The sonic improvement will range from stunning to unbelievable depending on your DAC.

In September 2007 Apple released 6th generation
iPod Videos, a new 80 GB and 160 GB model. We have adequate stock of 5th generation
80 GB iPods and will continue to offer them as well as offer upgrades to that model
until a newer model sufficiently better is released.
